About
Spritmuseum will present a major exhibition of prominent paintings from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s by Guyana-born, London-based artist Frank Bowling. The first black artist elected as a Royal Academician and the first black artist to receive an OBE, Bowling has become widely-known for his abstract paintings having started his career in figuration. The Spritmuseum houses the work of the Absolut Art Collection, which began in 1985 when Absolut invited Andy Warhol to create the first in a series of iconic advertisements inspired by the Absolut bottle. This exhibition is the second in a series of solo exhibitions taking the Collection as inspiration.
